OmniVoice 🌍

       

OmniVoice is a massive multilingual zero-shot text-to-speech (TTS) model supporting over 600 languages. Built on a novel diffusion language model-style architecture, it delivers high-quality speech with superior inference speed, supporting voice cloning and voice design.

• Repository: GitHub
• Demo: Hugging Face Space

Key Features

• 600+ Languages Supported: The broadest language coverage among zero-shot TTS models.
• Voice Cloning: State-of-the-art voice cloning quality from a short reference audio.
• Voice Design: Control voices via assigned speaker attributes (gender, age, pitch, dialect/accent, whisper, etc.).
• Fine-grained Control: Non-verbal symbols (e.g., [laughter]) and pronunciation correction via pinyin or phonemes.
• Fast Inference: RTF as low as 0.025 (40x faster than real-time).
• Diffusion Language Model-style Architecture: A clean, streamlined, and scalable design that delivers both quality and speed.

Sample Usage

To get started, install the omnivoice library:

We recommend using a fresh virtual environment (e.g., conda, venv, etc.) to avoid conflicts.

Step 1: Install PyTorch

NVIDIA GPU

# Install pytorch with your CUDA version, e.g.
pip install torch==2.8.0+cu128 torchaudio==2.8.0+cu128 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128

See PyTorch official site for other versions installation.

Apple Silicon

pip install torch==2.8.0 torchaudio==2.8.0

Step 2: Install OmniVoice

pip install omnivoice

Python API

You can use OmniVoice for zero-shot voice cloning as follows:

from omnivoice import OmniVoice
import torch
import torchaudio

# Load the model
model = OmniVoice.from_pretrained(
    "k2-fsa/OmniVoice",
    device_map="cuda:0",
    dtype=torch.float16
)

# Generate audio
audio = model.generate(
    text="Hello, this is a test of zero-shot voice cloning.",
    ref_audio="ref.wav",
    ref_text="Transcription of the reference audio.",
) # audio is a list of `torch.Tensor` with shape (1, T) at 24 kHz.

torchaudio.save("out.wav", audio[0], 24000)

For more generation modes (e.g., voice design), functions (e.g., non-verbal symbols, pronunciation correction) and comprehensive usage instructions, see our GitHub Repository.
